Very Very rough Idle HELP ASAP!!! PLEASE!

I have a 2000 civic ex D16y8 turbo. It has the edelbrock turbo kit on it. I have posted a video on youtube. here is the html.

please check it out and listen and see what your thoughts are. Id really mean a lot. i miss driving my boosted civic. way to much fun not to drive it. but anyways on to the issue. car starts just fine but has a rough idle as shown in video pulsating sound. I just installed a new dizzy no luck. then the car will eventually want to start to go down on rpms and eventually wants to die. if i give it some gas it will run but even then almosts stumbles on itself and wants to die but then if i give it enough gas or keep revving it and then hold the rpms up it wont want to die on itself. Also if you need more details I will do my best to give you what i know.

thanks,
tim

Go through this entire list. There is a number of things it could be.

Sounds like its most likely the FITV if you have a loping idle. That or the TPS.

Sorry about that 513EM1. And also thank you. I will check out that post and also look at the FITV and just buy a new TPS.

If your not sure of the problem, and you dont have a vacuum leak, try picking up a used throttle body from a junkyard, craigslist, or ebay.

Thats another option if you dont want to go replacing sensors one by one.

Ok. I seen someone else talking about buying a used one at a junk yard. Ill look into it and see if the junk yards near me have gotten any civics with motors left in them. Ill try cleaning the FITV also.
